NBA Playoffs Recap: The East.

The NBA playoffs are ongoing, my two teams are already out of the game, namely the 
LA Lakers and the New York Knicks.

With the Lakers getting swept and New York getting outplayed, outcoached and outrebounded the whole series...except maybe game 1.

It's become this man's Larry O'Brien trophy to lose.

BUT...before we predict Mr. James probable championship win lets see whats gonna happen in the Eastern Conference Finals and the Western Conference Finals

-THE EAST-

If you looked at the semi's in the east, you'll see the Miami Heat going against the depleted and bad luck-ridden Chicago Bulls and I know most of you would easily pick Miami as the winner..and guess what, you were right!

But by no means was it a walk in the park. Chicago didn't just bumped, it shoved and bruised against Miami's finesse, run n' gun, superstar powered offense along with Birdman and LBJ's defense.

and by shove, I didn't mean this:



Wow, Lebron went flying.

but Miami won it in 5 games. So they get to rest while their counterparts were still playing.

The Indiana Pacers went up against the New York Knicks in the NBA Playoffs semifinals and most of you probably thought that NYK would probably get the win. I sure did think of that but no. NO. NOOO.

Indy decided to become a championship contender when it really mattered. No I'm not downplaying Indy's grit and grind as they, like the Memphis Grizzlies, destroyed a championship contender by playing great defense. 
I've never seen both Melo and J.R. Smith shooting like I play iBasket on my iPad, bricking everything. 

Indy finished the series 4-2 against NYK.



Up next, The EAST. TALE OF THE TAPE.
